Hi all, This probably should have been posted in the Web support forum, however I decided to post it here since I would like to solicit opinions on the Canadian version of the website and having the seperate forums. First of all congrats to Lawrence and staff for getting the Canadian version...

Hey, don't laugh! They only reason any of us have a job still is because they haven't found a way to replace us with robots that can work 24/7. Did you ever see the movie Total Recall? Remember the robot taxi driver "Johnny Cab"? One of these days we will all be obsolete!:eek:

All truck stops in Canada are busy all the time.......since there are so few of them!!!:( Even less now with those redesigned enroute travel centres on the 400 series highways that can only accomodate a few big rigs!:mad:

I can remember when I used to do regional courier work in Ontario in the early 90's, a few of the underground deliveries in some of the big office towers in the Toronto area would not allow propane powered vehicles. If there is a leak, propane pools more and does not dissipate as fast as...

So not only flat rate but the company tells you where to layover as well? I am sure it will be much more efficient for the fed, having all their trucks just where they want/need them. If they keep all their trucks spread out where they need them it allows them to do three things. 1) provide...

Well now that Trump showed the U.S and the rest of the world what a JO he really is by that profane speech he made, no wonder Obama's approval is up. I mean really, what was he thinking????? So at this point, who's better than Obama??? As former Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman would say...

There are a number of criteria used to decide if someone is an employee or independent contractor such as: freedom of hours who dictates how the work should be done who owns the tools (truck) needed to do the job the costs associated with maintaining the tools the ability to obtain...

I think all fleet owners better get used to the fact that their drivers are really not independent contractors at all but in fact are employees. In order for the driver to be an independent contractor and not an employee, the driver must have an equal chance of profit and loss which they...

With no disrespect intended towards people that are afflicted with any neurological problem, this article immediately made me think of "army of darkness" where buddies' hand becomes possessed and tries to choke himself and smash dishes over his own head. He finally had to cut his own hand off to...

And what pray tell are you driving?

Space 1999 was a favourite of mine. I had a "thing" for Maja. Anybody remember "Starlost"? Was a Canadian production I think. Don't know if it was ever shown outside the country. Night Gallery was cool as well. Another favourite was "The Night stalker" with Darren McGavin.

After contemplating this a bit more, what is your ratio of cube vans/sprinters loads to regular cargo van loads? Maybe we can turn this thread into an interesting statistic, and if some of the other carriers chimed in with their ratios as well, then maybe you could go to these guys that are...

Charles, I sympathize with you. You are between a rock and a hard place. It can be so hard to keep everyone happy and not have them think you are screwing them when in fact you are trying to help them by trying to keep them busy. Then if you don't offer them the loads at all because you know...

Expediting........so easy a caveman could do it!:p

Even in the early eighties when I passed through Detroit for my first time while on my way to Dayton, there where many large buildings with only 3 walls (and people were living in them).:eek:

I guess you dont have to go to another continent to see the 3rd world after all.

I think he meant that you get 80% advanced upon POD and the remaining 20% whenever their usual settlements times are minus insurance and the weekly charge. Is that correct?

Hehe, where'd they get that idea from, watching "mars attacks"? That was funny as hell watching the martians' heads explode from listening to the yodeling!

8 gauge for regular passenger vehicles or c/v, and nothing smaller than 4 gauge for trucks, in my opinion. Look at what gauge is used on your battery and starter connections. Get the picture? To answer the original question as to why: The smaller the diameter of the wire, the less current that...

Ok, so confirm that they are not taking a cut of the rate to the truck, just a weekly fee to get discounts and load history, is that correct?
